  • Definition of an Adverb:

    • An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, often answering questions like how, when, where, or to what extent.
  • Analysis of the Sentence:

    • "Sumedha": This is a proper noun and cannot be an adverb.
    • "Never": This is an adverb because it modifies the verb "is" and answers the question "when" (indicating frequency).
    • "Late": This is an adjective describing Sumedha's punctuality, not an adverb.
    • "In the class": This is a prepositional phrase, not an adverb.
